Delhi Daredevils may find themselves in an unenviable position in this IPL, but in Rishabh Pant, they have a player who is more than capable of turning his opponents green with envy, and white with fear.

The left-hander has been one of the stars of Delhi's otherwise sub-par campaign so far. He was their highest scorer with 393 runs in IPL 2018 before the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, with his form even earning him an India A cap.

On Thursday, Pant showcased why he is such hot commodity slamming a blistering 128 not out off only 63 deliveries, including 15 fours and 7 sixes, to lift DD out of trouble and into a strong position.

It was no surprise then that the knock also set the cricketing fraternity on Twitter abuzz. Here are a few select reactions:
